Plus the atmosphere just isnt that great anymore


because the fans want to be babied and worry about the heat and concessions and cell phone connectivity...I wonder what fans did during the games in the 1970s and 80s

timeout breaks are full of commercials or kissing donors asses


not any different from any other time ever.

the seats aren't comfortable


if only there was a seat cushion or something that you could get cheap at Academy for like $5...

its going to be hotter than ever


majority of the scheduled games this year are at night, but okay...if only there was something you could drink while tailgating to keep you cool...

Please tell me what the advantage is of actually being in the stadium for the games besides bama and ole miss.


Actually being in the Stadium period. Hearing the band play "Daa Da Daa Daaa" before the game. Hearing the Alma Mater played before the game and singing along. Watching the team come out of the tunnel and being one with 90,000+ other people who devoted a Saturday Night to watch a football game and be part of a great experience. If you want to let all those excuses get in the way of supporting the Tigers at home, then give your tickets to the next person on the waiting list and have fun listening to Verne and Gary's moronic arses on TV.

Couldn't come up with a good reason other than to "be part of a great experience" huh? Guess what, its not a great experience anymore.

And to the guy who said to give up your tickets and let someone on the waiting list have them. Is there an actual list where people are waiting years for season tickets or is the waiting list simply a few month deal where 1st time season ticket holders request tickets and just have to wait a couple months? Lsu likes to call things waiting lists to make them sound more in demand than they really are.

Nice. You shite on "being part of a great experience" after that whiny, terrible list of excuses you gave about why you don't want to go to games. You really sound like a miserable "get off my lawn" type in this thread.

Then everyone would be whining about how tough our schedule is, and how other teams have such an unfair scheduling advantage, and how rec, ESPN, druids, Olympic committee, etc... hate LSU...

Oh wait.... Never mind.

If somebody wants a ticket that bad, they can get their arse out and find them.


The thing is, a lot of people aren't even willing to do that. Every game last year I had extra tickets that were a hassle to get rid of. They were West Uppers so I couldn't even get a few dollars from one of the "I NEED TICKETS" scalpers on bikes. I would call/text local people and post on Facebook that I had extras for dirt cheap but time after time, no takers. So many people complain that they've been priced out but yet when I offer them a ticket for $10 they look at me like I have two heads.

I honestly believe that the actual per game attendance this yr will be the lowest in decades.It's going to be embarrassing ..again....to have our 100K new stadium half empty by the start of the 3rd quarter. Considering that only 72K showed up for the gators last yr, why should we expect anything close for the rent-a-win games? And once fans get in the habit of not attending...................

Well, considering we are putting around 20-30k more in the stadium then they did, I would say they sucked compared to us

40$ shite per game was the catalyst.



And most games that a ticket holder doesn't want to attend, with the exception of a top SEC team, in most instances will find that he can't GIVE the tickets away. those people who don't attend LSU football games on a regular basis can take it or leave it when it comes to seeing a game in person.

Like I said juice not worth squeeze, especially if it's on TV.

Well, success was achieved in reducing the masses who showed up just to tailgate, get drunk and further clog up ingress/egress to/from the games.
